My bro sent me this. Oosan means older gentleman nothing derogatory. Guess
they figure anyone driving a DATSUN's got to be old, (well usually). Cool,

I forgot I can't include a photo on the list, but anyways my brother sent me a
pic of a decal that looks like a genuine Nissan sign in blue/red that reads
OSSAN which in Japanese means older gent. Kinda slang but nothing derogatory.
Cool. He saw it on Sunny pickup truck.

Japan cherishes its elderly. Probably grants easy merge, cordial treatment,
and other perks that come with age.

Even here--

I might consider such a sticker some day.

Send photo please ?

Maybe I can get replicas made.

Greetings,
 
I have looked into fixing up my exhaust system, but don't want to
lose the nice sounds coming out the tail pipe on my 1600.  Currently I have a
header feeding into a rather smallish exhaust tube to the rusty and banged up
muffler under the driver's seat, then the same size tube from there to twin
(ansa style) tip.  I would keep it the way it is, but it rattles quite a bit.
 
New setup would be installing a new flexible connector to the header exit
(purchased from Dean at DatsunParts) replacing the old tube with a 1.75"
diamater tube, placing a new Magnaflow muffler in a new location to the rear
of the old location and in front of the rear axle, and then reconnecting to
the twin tips.
 
Does anyone have thoughts on this setup?  Will I still have a
decent exhaust note?
 
Thanks,
Alan

Talk to Richard Waitas at Magnaflow - he can get you ANY sound you want.  They
are great.

hi everyone

Alan, my H20 had the same flex pipe you mention, to a 1.75" dia. pipe through 
the "X", over the axle, to a "turbo" style muffler between the axle and the tail 
pipe.  to fit, the turbo muffler is rotated 90 degrees to vertical.  and it 
sounds great!

"Asking price" and "price sold at" are often widely differing amounts. And,
as mentioned letting anything mechanical sit for a long time will almost
certainly lead to problems. That's one of the reasons I couldn't own an
trailer queen, or at least I wouldn't leave it parked. I'd be too tempted
to drive it like I stole it! Cars are meant to be driven after all. I'd
love to have the '67 GTO that my folks bought new, but it's long gone. I
may build a GTO clone, but if I do it'll definitely be driven, probably
pretty hard.

There's a late model late model Z28 with 2,990 original miles featured in
one of the muscle car mags. The guys says he won't be the one to go over 3K
because it'll decrease the value. First off, it's a late Z28 with a low
power smog motor, not a 1st gen with a 302 or a '70 with the LT-1 350, so
(IMO) it basically a decal package car. And if I want to buy something that
I can just sit and look at to enjoy I'd prefer artwork of some sort.

To each his (or her) own,
Ron

SRL311-13291 saw daylight (while still in the garage) y'day for the first time in years. My wife is on a garage-cleaning mission (for a garage sale to raise funds for a school trip), and I was able to access the Roadster, pull back the double car covers and sit in it!

There is a very real possibility that I will have sufficient access to the car to work on it before summer arrives.

I discovered that the left rear tire is cracked and doesn't hold air, so although all four will have to be replaced due to age (and didn't have too much mileage on them when it was parked in late '89...), I will have to put a cheapie on that corner to be able to roll it in and out of the garage to work on it, before replacing all four when it is ready to be driven.

Hood latch doesn't release from inside the cockpit, so will have to figure that one out, too -- but the important thing is that I will soon be able to start working on it!

Message-ID: <51412971.7010902@internode.on.net>

My little SP310 has been shifted to another Body Shop.
Due to a lack of hands and a looming deadline, the car is now going to 
be beaten into shape by Scott at Kustom Bodyworks.
Once he has everything in roadster shape, we will shift her back to 
Warehouse 27 for the painting.
Travis, from Warehouse 27, has offered to set me up with his kit, give 
me instructions an let me paint it MYSELF!
Material cost only :)
That is going to be a HOOT!
If I can shoot the colour to his standard, I will be able to say, "I did 
that!"
I am looking forward to the experience and sincerely hope I get it right!

Subject: [Roadsters] 1970 Roadster
Message-ID: <353FBFB92C3E40F090ACE23B669608CD@ChrisHP>

Hi everyone
  We are restoring a 1970- 1600 Roadster. The restoration is just about
complete but have a couple of questions about some of the finishing. First on
the windshield pillar at the top where the plastic trim along the top edge of
the windshield meets the weather strip that goes down the pillar and around
the door opening. Does the plastic strip go on top so the weather-strip butts
up against it or does the weather-strip go right to the top of the pillar? Is
there any finishing clips or anything else that goes on this corner? The next
question is that there is a center tap coil on a plastic block, maybe 4bx
1b, the coil is around 1/2 in. in diam.,  it has 4 wires going to it, the
wires are blue with black and red tracers, the wires are in the same bundle
that goes to the heater blower motor. I canbt find it on the wiring diagram
and was told it was specific to a 1970 model. It looks like it might get hot
and should maybe  be mounted on the firewall? Any ideas what it is and what it
does?
  Thanks for reading
                  Chris

Sounds like the blower motor dropping resistor.
Usually, they are mounted INSIDE the blower housing to prevent lint on 
the coil from igniting and also to air cool the resistor.
The schematic for the 1970 model just shows the wires in question going 
to the heater blower but have a look at the attachment which is for a 1967.
It shows what you describe.

If you haven't done so already, download the appropriate wiring diagram PDF
from the tech wiki section on 311s.org and have it printed and laminated at
least 11 x 17 at a Staples, Office Max, etc. One of the guys on 311s
meticulously recreated most of the OE diagrams (and some with popular mods)
in color making them so much easier to follow and trace circuits. IIRC, it
cost less than $5.00/each to get them done 11 x 17. A place with a plotter
can print larger, but it can get pricy. Having a 4 x 6 color wiring diagram
hung on the wall makes it nice on old eyes.

FWIW,
Ron

I actually stepped out of the box, bought a HVLP gun learned the
difference between mixes, primer nozzles, needle widths, spray
patterns, volume and pressure, distance ect. ect. ect. then, and then,
practiced, practiced and practiced on fenders and hoods I got from
pick and pull. There are some great youtube vids that helped, but its
the practice, practice and practice that really helped me shoot my
rig. Don't be disillusioned, laying that material down the right way
is not something you can just do without practice, practice and not to
forget the last one, practice. Well, that is if you want to do it
right. Good luck, try getting some sheet metal and ...well...practice.

Amen to THAT!
I might just add one thing though, lots of practice.
I have done a lot of spray painting over the years and probably still 
will, but with the modern paints, it is not only too expensive to set up 
the necessary booth and oven, it is also ILLEGAL in Oz to paint without 
them.
So, essentially, I will be using all the required tools in Travis's  
Paint Shop!
I too purchased a HVLP gun but I haven't used it yet.
Ah well, there are 3 more cars in the corral that I can practice on;-)

I just dropped in a box of fasteners and stuff to the Body Shop and 
Scott has already welded my hand shaped sill panels on.
They fit a treat!
All that time I spent hand shaping them to the necessary compound curve 
has paid off!
I will be loading some recent pics to my web site, shown in my 
signature,<www.nissanman.shutterfly.com> soon.

Message-ID: <CAFEMhEtS-2VvJX=JHukb3h9dC=zzFQ1fQHKFK4Dn7DTZVq0rqg@mail.gmail.com>

  I have some NOS sheet metal for a 1968 roadster.  Fenders could be used
on '68 - '70, but they don't have holes for the side lights.  Passenger
front fender has some slight damage.  Tail panel could be used on '68 -
'70, but does not have the holes for license plate lights for '69 & '70.
The rockers would fit any '68 - '70.  One NOS drivers door with window
mechanics and hinges.  One NOS passenger door skin.
  I would prefer not to have to ship any pieces, so I'll toss out the offer
to deliver anywhere in Ohio for gas money.  I also have a set of used doors
in good shape, and a used trunk lid.  Let me know if you are interested and
I can send some photos.  I'm not about to give it away, but I'm not
charging Rallye prices either.

The springs and cup washers are for drum brakes, the screws look to me like
headlight adjusters.

Actually on second thought the springs look like they could be for the 
headlight buckets.

Marty,

  Looking through my parts catalog, I've come to the conclusion, that I
don't know.  Might be a good question to ask the list.

  Would a 1968 trunk lid fit a 1967 roadster?

I have always run the original Datsun/Nissan full comp springs front and
rear (along with the comp front bar) and Koni shocks. Stiff as hell but
works great for autocrossing.

Have run several cars with several setups.

For the fun afternoon/evening drive or autocross,
I really like the front comp springs, comp sway bar, Koni shocks set 
about 3/4 hard
rear Koni shocks set about half hard, stock rear springs stiffened up 
with another leaf.

Older 80s era comp fronts, bar, KYB Gas adjusts, flex- form composite
mono-leafs 230lb rate as I recall, with Gas adjusts in the rear too.  Very
happy, but might be happier with konis.  the rear monos are great and ride a
billion times better than my old worn and dearched comps. I just think they
would benefit from a stiffer rebound shock vs the KYB, but they were not
available before and while a guy in Norway on 311s is having new konis made
they are still big bucks.

No set of figures is considered absolutely definitive. Possibly the most
comprehensive analysis has been done by Phill Brook in his book, "Fair Lady"
published in 2000.

In the Appendix, he says that production volumes for RHD 1600's between 1965
and 1967 are:
1965	751
1966	181
1967	190

He also notes that the figure for 1967 is approximate.

It's interesting that the 1500 (SPL310) was still being produced  through 
1965, even though they dropped the rear seat in '65.  I know there  are 
figures of 3148 1500's being produced for the US for the Fairlady  1500.

I'm clearing out my garage and need to get rid of a project of piecing
together a transmission for a 4 speed 1600. I think gear 2 and/or 3 was
busted but wished to rebuild the tranny but never got to it.

I'm giving it away free for anyone who wants it and either wants to pay
shipping (which would be expensive) or pick it up in Oakland, CA.

I also have a set of SU carbs, that was given to me but I will not be using
it. Same deal as above.

Since I don't regularly check the mailing list, please email me directly at
hoonhkim at gmail.com if you are interested. Thanks!

I just got back from checking out a 65 1600 in Sheboygan, WI. The VIN is 
SPL 04547 with no title. It has probably been sitting for over 20 years. 
I decided to pass on bringing it home as it is too rough--body looked to 
be completely shot--the door hinges were pulled out of the A-pillar. 
There is some salvageable stuff, full side trim and steering wheel are 
the best bits. It has a white port hole hard top.

It needs to be removed before the 23rd. (I know, short notice, but I 
just found out three days ago myself and today is the first time we 
could get in to see it.)

I only post this to the group in case someone is wanting or looking for 
this particular VIN. If you are interested, pm me or call me any time 
after 6 am tomorrow and I will give you the phone number of the guy who 
needs to move it. 608 four four five 9072

I will put it in the registry once I know the final fate of this car. I 
am hoping the guy who it was given to finds somewhere to move it so we 
can then salvage what is left to salvage.

I have the carbs, which look to be complete, if anyone is interested in 
an early set.

Subject: [Roadsters] Correction - Gas Cable housing not speedometer
Message-ID: <24c01.3de64c15.3e7dce3e@aol.com>

I had requested a speedometer cable, but what I really meant was  the GAS 
PEDAL cable, when it feeds into the engine compartment, there  is a cable 
housing (short) that screws into the firewall that goes to the single  carb on 
my 1500 Fairlady.  The cable itself goes through this housing to  the carb, 
but without the retainer the cable housing allows high reviving of the  
motor, gas pedal doesn't return.
 
I have pictures since this mail system does not allow images to be  sent.
 
Sorry, yesterday was a senior moment (that's my excuse and I'm sticking  
with it).
 
Thanks.

The listing is via google is Berkeley Muffler Services, but the street view
shows "Ron's Berkeley Muffler".  Worth looking up or driving by to see the
muffler people sculptures.  I've driven by the shop for years.  Now I've got
a reason to go in.

For the u-channel with fuzzy inside that runs the length of the window 
channel from the top of the vent frame to the bottom of the that rail inside 
the door, then one of these, from JCWhitney, is what I used very 
successfully on our '66.  I don't recall which one, but measure the bare 
channel, and compare the dimesions - one of these was a good press-fit into 
the channel.  It did need to be cut with a hacksaw / cut-off wheel to be the 
right length.

Isn't one of the reasons we own roadsters is so we don't see ourselves 
coming in the opposite direction? ;-)

Stan, no chance of seeing another roadster like mine; it's in pieces.

Yours look like this? The interior is worse.  The 2000 sits in the 
engine bay but only because I needed someplace to put it out of the 
snow.  Note the tag from the 2nd annual Multi-State Datsun Classic under 
the windshield wiper.  I towed it to Williams to get some ideas of what 
to do with it.  Great folk at the meet.

two questions b first, it looks like there are baffles on each side of the
tank?  I assume that is what Ibm seeing.

second b it also looks like you can mount the sending unit where it swings
to either the left or right b looks equally spaced to me.

thanks!

Don't matter - it is an up/down thing - not a left/right thing.
Make sure you clean/dielectric the resistor under the steering column

Charlie ,
  My Best Guess of what you may be referencing ,is the Fuel Check valve, 
attached to the rear carb float bowl . It has had a
  cork gasket in some and others had a paper gasket . I don't think it 
is available new ,so we always make a replacement in the shop for that .

I am a 1600 guy, but I believe that there is a fuel pressure regulator 
on the rear 2L carb. Maybe that is what you are looking at?

Charlie,

Did you mean Solex dampers?  I'm not sure what those are.  The SU
carb setup on 
the 2L has a fuel return valve in the fuel line at the rear
carb.  The valve 
allows excess fuel to be returned to the fuel tank as part
of emissions 
controls.  The outlet of that valve should be connected to a
fuel line going 
into towards the fire wall, where it runs in parallel with
the line from the 
tank to the fuel filter or pump.  The valves are available
new (expensive) and 
used.  I'm sure I have one I would be willing to part
with, but I'd want a 
picture off-list to make sure we're talking about the
same thing.

I am not aware of any similar such device on Solex cars.  My
'67-1/2 2000 does 
not have the return line to the fuel tank.

Gary

Subject: [Roadsters] Fuel line thingie
Message-ID: <51557CF8.10556.97CFA5@localhost>

I believe the fuel line widget that's being discussed is part of
the anti-vapor-lock system. It is a thermostatic (heat controlled)
valve that mounts near the rear of the engine, and has an inlet fuel
line coming from the carb and an outlet fuel line that returns to the
tank. It is not emissions and it is not a pressure regulator. It is 'a
good thing'.

Starting with '68, the distributor was recurved to run at 0 degrees
BTDC. This reduces emissions, destroys off-the-line performance,
and causes an idling engine to run hot (thus the extra vacuum
lines and valves and such to advance the dwell when the engine
starts to get critical). This extra heat exacerbates a problem with
carbureted cars: vapor lock. Hot gasoline wants to vaporize (boil)
in the fuel lines, and when that happens it prevents the flow of liquid
gasoline to the carbs.

So: the thermostatic fuel control valve. This widget is normally closed
(or close to it). When things heat up, an internal valve opens and allows
a controlled amount of gasoline to return to the tank via the return line
(this line is unique to 68+ cars). It's a restricted flow so the carbs
still get gasoline, but it keeps the fuel moving so it stays cooler and
is less prone to boil and vapor lock.

There's your history lesson for the day...

p.s. Fuel injected cars have a pressure regulator that also circulates
fuel, but that's a whole 'nother thing...

Message-ID: <CAFEMhEv6Fb0=51d8CY=XgJgmVSLs1k6ta74U+q4e72yakCAWOQ@mail.gmail.com>

  I have an original (not actually vinyl) soft top boot that is in good
shape, but is very stiff.  I used an upholstery cleaner to remove about 15
years of dust.  It cleaned up nicely, except some PO left it in the car
when it was painted red, shows a bit of over spray.

  Any thoughts of how to save it?

You could try to wash the over spray off with a rag and some General 
Purpose Thinners.
That worked OK on some tyres of mine which had over spray however it was 
fresh.
You might find that those areas will be the cleanest of the entire item!

I bought one of the blue wax/cleaners at the motorcycle show in Chicago a
couple 
years ago that cleaned up my old top pretty well.  Supposed to take
off 
overspray as well.  Couldn't hurt to try. 

I haven't tried the clay bar
on my soft top, but I really like it for everything 
else.
